How is Florida State 12? And on what basis should Michigan State be ranked?

He probably put MSU at number 2 or some shit. . .
I would have liked to see Colorado crack the top 25. I think they deserve to be there more so than Georgia. . .

How in the hell should THEY be ranked anywhere close to 16? Because they beat a Georgia team that has struggled against inferior competition all year?
I'm glad at least OU dropped out. No 1-2 team should ever be ranked.

Given where they started, MSU deserves to be ranked until they lose again.
I kind of doubt they have a significant chance of losing before they get to us (BYU and Northwestern both look worse than expected and Indiana looks worse than last year). I don't think Maryland will be able to pull that off despite their improvements under Durkin.
But honestly, I hope they keep winning until 10/29. I'd like to knock them out of the rankings ourselves.
Looking at their schedule, I almost can't see them going worse than 9-3. I think they lose to OSU and UM, but who else?
Surely not Penn State or Rutgers. Maryland and Indiana look like long shots. They play Illinois at home and I doubt the Illini are going to get blown out by Western but then win in East Lansing. Northwestern is trash this year and they also get them at home. BYU is the only significant possiblity. MSU is lucky to avoid Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota out of the West.

September 25th, 2016 at 2:34 PM ^
So who do you think should be ranked higher than them?
Crappy Georgia? A Texas team that lost to shitty Cal and looked worse against Notre Dame than MSU did? 1-2 Oklahoma? 2-2 UCLA? The TCU team that lost at home to Arkansas and gave up a million points to horrible FCS South Dakota State? Arkansas who just got blown out to a team lower ranked than Wisconsin?
The thing is, there have to be 25 teams in the top 25.

September 25th, 2016 at 3:01 PM ^
I agree too. But you'd need to find 8 other teams to justify MSU not being ranked.
I personally think MSU at 17 is a bit too high. They should be in the 19-21 range in my opinion.

September 25th, 2016 at 2:42 PM ^
Agreed. Will be the most "toss up" of their games. BYU has a solid D this year too

AP poll is way more significant than the Coaches' poll. It's not even close between the two in relevance.

I don't understand how Georgia is still ranked after how horrid they have looked every single week since Week 1, but whatever.
Colorado would be ranked 31st if the rankings were extended. They will beat Oregon State at home next week (worst team in the PAC 12), but they will probably need to win at USC in two weeks to break into the top 25. Unless maybe they slaughter Oregon State and a few other key teams lose.

Not sure if serious. AP Poll is a not a factor in the CFP ranking, but is a much better gauge to predict CFP ranks before they are released.

The SEC echo chamber is in hyperdrive this year. Several bad losses amongst their ranked teams and near losses to bad teams. I'm looking forward to seeing the SEC beat themselves out of so many rankings.

WHEN you lose has become more important than HOW you lose, WHO you lose to and common sense.

Exactly. Especially given that Florida State is probably not going to win the ACC, 11-2 Ole Miss still would not be a shoe-in for the playoff.
That said, Ole Miss would need Alabama to lose TWICE to get to the SEC Championship game. That is not happening. Ole Miss will not be in the playoff.

I don't understand how Clemson is still ranked ahead of Stanford or Houston for that matter and how Georgia is still ranked.

with monday night, thursday night and sunday nfl, wednesday maction and frday night football we have only 1 night during the season without football. i think its glorius.

It would get way more exposure/viewers for the conference if it was on Saturday.
Mostly my reasons are selfish though. I'm taking a red-eye flight from the West Coast to Michigan on Thursday night (probably won't sleep at all) and then have to work remotely on Friday. Need some rest before Gameday on Saturday, so there is little to no chance I will be able to stay up till 9:00ET on Friday night to watch.
So, I guess I should hush. I'm so happy to be going back to Ann Arbor this weekend.
